i just got a pic of my clowns. Apparently my clownfish haven't figured out that the two new big fish in thier tank probably want to eat them in the near future... I got two gorgeous triggers from Jenn, and had to share. The Clown and Huma (Picasso) trigger are both around 5 inches and are doing great in the tank. Their new big buddy, the stars and stripes puffer, seems to enjoy their company an he follows them around, a few inches bigger than the triggers. I have been feeding them HEB shrimp and they eat like pigs! also, a recommendation from Jenn, i got the littleneck live clams from HEB, and put them in my tank. The triggers LOVE them, as does the puffer. Every so often they go and check out the clams real close to see if they are open, even a little, ...then hit them numerous times to see if they can get them...i got 6, two are eaten so far...they are awesome to watch, and so funny. they are already showing the typical "dog" behavior of triggers that i always heard about. Hope u guys enjoy the pics! thx again Jenn

Thanks so much for posting this Bobby! I miss them so much, but it looks like they have a much better life there. I am glad that the puffer has some new buddies too. Please keep me updated.

I am in amazement....those are LIVE clowns in there with them? :shock:

ya Jenn, the clowns are still alive.... it is hilarious when i feed the brine shrimp, the clowns go crazy, because the triggers don't eat it much, and just sit there waiting for their shrimp, and the little clowns swim around, trying to push the triggers out of the way to get the brine, and the triggers MOVE!!!!

I put in a 3" damsel and it was in half within seconds! Lucky clowns! Maybe its because the clowns were there first in placement or they know they taste bad or something.
